TL;DR

• Activity-based prospecting produces diminishing returns in financial services because it ignores timing.
• Wealth events create short windows of genuine receptivity. The advisor who arrives during that window has a fundamentally different conversation than one who arrives cold.
• The highest-converting prospecting channel is a specific warm introduction from a trusted mutual connection, made at the moment of a wealth event.
• COI partnerships position advisors earlier in the decision window than almost any other channel.
